My little 1988 15ft Lynx Prowler has a lot of windows, but only 3 open and close

Most of the little plastic cranks are stripped or missing.
Is this a matter of replacing the crank part? or am I looking at replacing windows?

I will take some photos tonight and post more if that helps...
Thanks

those plastic window cranks break all the time.  look on Amazon or Ebay and buy a a bag of replacements.

Are they a generic part or is there different sizes??

I'm sure the replacements are a generic Chinese copy of the original part. 

Google is your friend...  (or maybe enemy  ;) ) ,        Look for ones like the ones you have.

Maybe take off a good one, put it in place of a broken one, just to see if window will operate.  Once you get windows operating, you might spray the mechanical mechanism with a dry lubricant.  WD 40 makes a dry spray that I like a lot.
